Portland Roadtrip 10.-14.5.2007 - Day 1

Another roadtrip....the last one was already way too long ago...so I took the chane to go with another MCC Volunteer from Calgary down to Portland, Oregon in the US.
We rented a car here in Vancouver and started driving down to the US on Thursday morning.
At the Us border we had to wait for 40 minutes in traffic line up until they let us in...

once we were in the US nothing could keep us back to go to Seattle and check out the city and it´s people. Here you can see my travel partner Mandy from Thailand, she currently volunteers in Calgary, Alberta.

we checked out downtown Seattle for a few hours

Pike Market - Public Market Center

first Starbucks ever


in the late afternoon we went back to the highway and headed southwest towards the Washington coast.
Here is Mount Rainier in the background...

Aberdeen, finally we arrive at the Pacific...

we decied to ckeck out Westport but we didn´t like the campsites there...so we just kept on driving down the coast until we arrived Grayland where we stayed in Grayland Beach State Park for the night.

little supper...chinese noodle soup!
